You’re not missing anything. In general, I don’t think you can really trust the vast majority of software developers anymore. Incentives are so ridiculously aligned against the user.
If you take the next step: “do not use software from vendors you don’t trust,” you are severely limiting the amount of software you can use. Each user gets to decide for himself whether this is a feasible trade off.
